Team building activity
Information for organisers
Treasure Hunt Nottingham is a great activity for your team-building event, office away day or an activity to bring together remote teams.
We’ve organised hundreds of excellent experiences, catering for groups of 6—200!
How the game works
The game works like a Whatsapp Group chat with a pirate character who leads each team around Nottingham. They have to figure out cryptic clues by finding things in the city.
Everyone in a team can access their link on their own phones. They all see each others' messages just like a group chat.
Demo game: Treasure Hunt Nottingham
Here’s a demo game (open on your phone):

Split into teams of 6
For big groups we suggest breaking into teams of up to 6.
Each team should start 5 minutes apart. That way they aren’t on each others' toes but they’ll see each other at any planned breaks along the way.
Duration & breaks
The game takes 2-3 hours depending on breaks.
We recommend planning in a break at one of Nottingham’s excellent venues along the way.
Here’s a map of Nottingham showing the full route (no spoilers!):

Start and end points
The game starts at the front of St Peter’s Church and takes them on a fixed route that we’ve carefully designed.
It ends at outside St Mary’s on High Pavement.
Make it a competition
When each team finishes, they are awarded a score.
To get a perfect score, they’d need to get every clue right first time with no hints.
As each team finishes, their score will appear on your leaderboard. When all teams are finished, you can refresh the leaderboard to see who won.
We suggest competing on score rather than time as it’s nicer to ṫake your time rather than rushing.

Really good fun
I took my small team on this as a team building exercise and a way to get to know Nottingham. This was really great and a fantastic way to get to know each other without doing a bunch of ice breakers that everyone hates! We got to see each other's strengths and weaknesses and how we work as a team. Some stages are a bit trickier than others, especially if you have somehow forgotten the name of some very famous Nottinghamshire legends? I would highly recommend it!
